How we determine our sort order

As a traveller searching on our site, you have many options to help you find the perfect property.

The Sort settings at the top of the page allow you to order search results by your preferences, such as price, review score, and other criteria.

If you do not select any specific Sort option, by default we will show you the search results based on the following criteria:

Search order will fluctuate automatically depending on filters used by travellers, traveller preferences, as well as “Ranking” which consists of the attributes of the property, the quality of the experience provided and the compensation paid for bookings. Attributes of a property are evaluated based on a variety of factors such as traveller feedback, amenities, and the location of a property. The quality of the experience is based on a variety of factors such as calendar accuracy, response times and booking acceptance, online booking and online payments capability, rate consistency and quality stay experience and other factors that HomeAway may deem important to the user experience from time to time. The compensation paid for bookings is also a factor for the relative ranking of properties with similar offers, based on the relevance factors described above. If a listing is placed on a subscription basis, search results may also vary depending on the search criteria used by a particular traveller. HomeAway reserves the right to apply automatically various search algorithms or to use methods to optimize Ranking results for particular travellers’ experiences and the overall marketplace. Search results and order may appear different on HomeAway’s mobile application than they appear on its website. To optimize the search experience and improve the Ranking Process, HomeAway retains the right to run occasional tests that will be limited in duration but may alter how we display property listings and search results.
